${status.value} not getting resolved

Apr 23rd, 2007, 02:50 PM

This is probably a VERY obvious issue but I cannot see what I am doing wrong. It is probably fairly common too, when you don't have everything setup correctly. I there a general place I should look when this happens.

I am trying to get a AbstractWizardFormController implemenatation to work that is explained in a book that I am reading "Expert Spring MVC and Web Flows".

I setup all the controller config stuf in the constructor (I have also tried setting it up in the myapp-servlet.xml file with the same results).

You probably don't need all this information, and will simply say something to the effect of: "oh, you just need to make sure such-in-such is in your such-in-such" By I am new and having trouble figuring this out. ANY help will be greatly appreciatted.

I have a couple of sample controllers working correctly in the same app and I do not have this issue. The are more basic but the ${status.value} fields are resolved correctly in those jsps. This is the one jsp I have been having trouble with. Thanks for the reponse. Any ideas on what else could be wrong with my jsp setup? Do you need more information? If so what do you need?

So far I only see that any of your EL expressions are ignored by servlet container.
What container are you using? Could you post the heading of your web.xml file?
Do you have any jsp-config declarations inside?

I added the stuff to my web.xml but still the same results. Like I said before I have other sample apps working so I don't think its the web.xml. It is probably a configuration issue with something process specific (i.e. something is wrong with my declarations in my springapp-servlet.xml or maybe in my controller constructors). But I can't see anything there either so your guess is as good as mine. I really appreciatte your help. Any other ideas?

I finally just started over and got it working by creating my own sample app instead of trying to use the one from the book I am reading and wouldn't you know it, I got it up and working. Thanks for trying to help me solve this issue. I still have now clue why this was happening.
